This section on adding sites discusses the procedures associated with site management. A Site is a physical location where VSS is installed. Additional sites can be configured as needed, and consist of all of the policies and agents unique to a site

Add a Site 

The Admin Console allows you to manage multiple site locations.

To add a site in the Admin Console:

2. From the File menu, select Site Manager. The Site Manager displays
3. Click Add. The Add Site dialog box displays
4. Enter the Server name for the other site. This can be the machine name, IP address, or hostname
5. If the remote server is on a different domain, you will need to unselect the “Use logged on user account” checkbox and enter the appropriate credentials of the remote network
6. Optionally, enter any associated comments for this site and click OK
7. To add additional sites to the Admin Console, repeat steps 2 - 6
